I wanted to note that reading Uexhull through Agamben seems really problematic. As far as I understand, Uexhull was also very interested in biosemiotics while Agamben asserts that there is absolutely no communicative possibility between various worlds. Does anyone know more about this? Regardless, can anyone provide some original source material that is NOT filtered through Agamben? This seems really problematic.

Race and von Uexküll
It is extremely troubling that this article contains no information about von Uexküll's views on race. He was, after all, a close friend and correspondent of Houston Stewart Chamberlain. See for example Uexküll's Staatsbiologie from 1920. Anne Harrington, in her book Re-enchanted Science, has an excellent chapter on this more unsavory side of Uexküll's career. — Preceding
